Terrier Mix that has the soul of a puppy but can be the perfect guard dog for a home. Atticus came from a home with his brother Saivyer and multiple dogs but can be selective towards others.

Atticus needs a home where he will have an active owner and can have separation anxiety if not worked with. Meet and greats are necessary and encouraged when adopting into a home with house mates. Atticus loves toys, bones, and going on walks but will need a handler that can handle his strength. Atticus is fully vetted and ready for adoption! If you would like to meet Atticus, please visit our website to submit a adoption application to schedule a meet and greet.If you would be interested in giving me a furever home, please contact The Humane Society of Adams County, Inc. at (937) 544-8585 to set up a time to come meet me and fill out an adoption application!

Story
Saivyer is a stunning brindle, and his adorable face is certain to captivate your heart. This sweet boy originated from a home with his brother Atticus, where they flourished alongside other dogs. Saivyer is a gentle soul who craves attention and affection, yet he also possesses the potential to become a loyal guard dog for his forever home. He adores spending quality time with his human hndlers and can effortlessly spend his days cuddling with them. Saivyer has a passion for toys and treats, and he exhibits no signs of food aggression. Although he may not be fond of small animals, with proper supervision, he can learn to coexist peacefully. Saivyer can be selective with other dogs, so meet and greets with current pets are highly encouraged. This incredible boy is yearning for someone to provide him with a second chance. With patience and proper training, Saivyer can overcome separation anxiety and become a wonderful companion for a single person or young couple. He is house trained, crate trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and loves car rides. Saivyer's ideal day consists of exciting adventures, playing ball, and snuggling up for belly rubs and sweet kisses. This charming boy is fully vetted, up-to-date on vaccines, and ready to find his forever home. To apply for adoption, please visit our website to submit an adoption application. We must receive one prior to scheduling. The application is free, and it's the first step towards providing Saivyer with the loving home he deserves.If you would be interested in giving me a furever home, please contact The Humane Society of Adams County, Inc. at (937) 544-8585 to set up a time to come meet me and fill out an adoption application!

Story
If you’ve been holding off on adopting a dog because you think he’d be lonely without a buddy—Petey would like to personally invite you to knock it off. He’s not lonely. He’s not misunderstood. He just doesn’t like other dogs. At all. He’ll yell if they get too close, and he means it. But people? He’s all in. Loves attention, good with kids, housebroken, rides well, and sleeps like a rock. Petey is 43 lbs, 3 years old, and would like to be your one and only. Forever. Adopt Petey. He’s got manners for people and middle fingers for other dogs—if dogs had fingers, that is.

Story
Meet Laguna, the little dog with big dog skills and an even bigger heart. 💛Laguna is friendly, playful, and absolutely lights up around other dogs. Chase, wrestling, zoomies — she’s here for all of it! We haven’t found a dog yet that she won’t play with. She’s gentle, patient, and wonderfully tolerant with her canine buddies. Having another confident, social dog in the home would be a huge benefit for her and truly help her thrive.But when it comes to new people, Laguna needs a gentler approach. She can feel “trapped” behind a fence, behind a door, in a kennel, on a leash, or even just in a home with unfamiliar guests. In those moments, she may view strangers as “bad people” until she has time to see otherwise.Laguna needs adopters who listen to and advocate for their dogs — people who understand that trust is earned, not forced. Her family will need to help her by:• Giving her time and space to approach new people when she feels ready• Stepping between her and a stranger if someone isn’t respecting her boundaries• Not allowing strangers to put hands out, lean over her, or try to pet her before she feels safe• Letting her build trust slowly, like you would with a timid child who simply needs nurturing and patienceWith her people and dog friends, Laguna is all love — a joyful, affectionate, goofy little mix (Staffy/Boston/Frenchie/Bull Terrier blend!) who weighs about 30 lbs and stands only a foot tall. She’s fully grown, rides wonderfully in the car, and is house-trained (she may just need a few days to learn the new household routine).Laguna brings sunshine wherever she goes. She’ll chase away your winter blues, fill your home with laughter, and reward your patience with the most loyal love.If you’re ready to help this sweet, lively girl bloom — and you have a friendly, confident dog to show her the ropes — please consider opening your home to Laguna. 💛🐾🐕 Dogs: Yes🐈 Cats: Unsure (try our 1-week foster trial!)👧 Kids: Yes, with calm and respectful childrenLaguna is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm & Lyme negative, and on flea/tick prevention. She’s ready to find a patient, loving home that will give her the time she needs to truly shine. ✨💙 Laguna's adoption fee: $225📍 Apply online at www.highlandhumanesociety.orgOr visit the shelter:• Tues–Fri: 12–5 pm• Sat: 11–3 pm(Please arrive at least 30 minutes before closing.)🐾 Ask about our foster-to-adopt program! Take any dog 4 months or older home for a week to make sure it’s the perfect fit.
